Swedish Christmasses
Hello There my friends. I know it's a bit late for this, but I thought I might show you the nice christmas decorations I displayed in the kitchen this year. They're swedish christmas decorations, so they're slightly different to our typical decorations, but I love them. And you'll never guess where I got them from! The cheap and not so good quality Ikea, which Igenerally try to avoid- the crowds are exhausting, but when I saw them at my friends house a while ago, I simply had to have them!

everything
The other day I uncovered a few pieces that I had been working on a while ago. There's the black and white one- which is sort of a collaboration of different patterns. Sorry, I'll get you guys a picture later. The second one is of a girl with birds nest hair. There are some birds nesting in her hair and a little house. Take a look at the pictures I took of them.
I found an old clock radio the other day. It's about thirty years old but still up and running almost perfectly at the moment. It has some pretty cool functions that you wouldn't find in clock radios these days. For example, it has a touch panel for stopping the alarm, and a slumber function where you can set it to keep going for a certain amount of time before it turns itself off. Great for night time listening! I love it, I can now wake up to the sweet sounds of my favourite radio station.

It's that time of year
I always love this time of year because instead of saying I'll see you next week you can say I'll see you next year, an still mean the same thing.
On Christmas day when we were cracking open all those bon bons and nearly drowned in hte wrapping for them, I realised how terrible the presents are, and I am now thinking of making my own for next year, with much nicer goodies when you crack them open. My only problem is that, as you all may well have already picked out, the bang- which in the bon bons you get from the supermarket is achieved with a very tiny amount of gunpowder- will be hard for me to get. I have now idea where you would be able to find gunpowder these days, without crossing over to the black market. Firecrackers possibly- you could open them up- but I don't think you can buy those either. If you guys have any ideas on how I can get that bang, then leave a comment.

Boxing Day
Today was boxing day and it was a grey day so I sat at home drinking lots of tea and drawing. Here is a cool advertisement I found
